The Indemnity Lands.

The secretary of the interior has is- sued an order revoking the reservation of the lands heretofore reserved as in- demnity lands for the benef; of the At lantic X Pacific railroad Tn New Mexico west of the Rio Grande This order also includes the same class of lands To- cated in Arizona II is very doubtful whether this action Of the interior de- partment will benefit either New Mexico or Arizona. At present it IS much easier to procure lands from the Atlantic X Pa eific railroad Tn either New Mexlco or Arizona. and at less cost, than il is pos sible to secure them from the govern ment The road is selling lands at from seventy-fve cents to two dollars per acre, and in quantities to su,t purchasers. The United States charges 5, 50 per acre for the same class of lands. and in the same locality, besides compelling people and settlers to comply with lot of very frlv olous, vexstious and tiresome regulations and conditions. The purchaser of lands from the Atlantic x Pacific railroad IS not bothered and sucked dry by the so- called special agents of the general land ofice. A settler, or purchaser of public lands is never free from their attacks and false reports.
 The Atlantic & Pacific railroad com pany xill. as . matter of course, fight this order of the secretary of the interior m the couTis, and this will have a ten dency to keep out immigration, as set tiers. and immigrants wan, lands over which there Is TO dispute, and which are not involved In legal controversies The road is corre,t and right and will be simply fighting for what it considers its just and legal rights. Some of the best and mos, prominent land attorneys in the country are of the opinion that the road will finally succeed in compelling the United States 50 respect the grant and its conditions as made by congress.
 The action of the department, Of the interior smacks good dea. of pare and unadulterated demsgoguery, and seems 10 be simply intended as political cats paw wherewith ;o catch votes 1T the far of eastern states. Ou- yves, that game will not work. People cut wes, know too much, and are not as easily fooled Santa Fe New Mexican.

 Washington issued dnring the eight years of bis presidency but tvo vetoes; 1 his successor John Adams never availed l himself of the veto-poves. neither did Jefferson during his double term The same is to be said of John Quincy | Adams, Van Buren, Hanison. Taylor l and Fillmore and President Monroe made use of the veto only once during 1 his two terms. Madison, however, vho preceded the latter, issued six vetoes | during his two terms Of the presidency. l

Atlantic . Paclnc Lands Revoked.


 
 Atlantic q Pacific Lands Revoked
 The secretary oi the interior has re voked an order of withdrawal of the in- demnity lands for the benefit of the At lantic & Pacific railroad company, and in a long letter to the commissioner general of the land office decides they must be restored to settlement under the pre-emp,ion and homestead laws.
 Secretary Lamar's letter, which is long, says: He considered the showing made by the Atlantic < Pacific railroad, and reviews in detail the sections of the act granting the land. After this review it is apparent. from the granting clause of said act, the grant was not one of quan- tity, but for a certain number of sections in certain places, and if not there, then gives the privilege of looking for . def ciency in restricted limits; therefore. if company does not get the full amount of sections ~ishheld in the primary limit, and fails to make up its losses in the secondary limits, there is no violation of contract anywhere that can see, but only the happening of 8 contingency plainly contemplated by the granting acts, subject to which the company made its contracts It is manifested that the act gave no special authority to withdraw said lands. and when such withdrawals were made, il was dore by virtue of the general authority over such matters pos- sessed by the secretary of the interior, and In the exercise of his discretion, SO that were the withdrawal to be revoked, no law would be violated or contract would be broken. The company would be placed exactly in the position which the law gave it, and deprived of no rights acquired hereunder. It would yet have its right to select indemnity for lost lands, and 1t would have TO advantage over settlers as II. nov has. T. Is a con- travention of the policy of the govern ment to revoke the rights unquestion- ably conferred upon settlers by the land laws of the country, that are apparently specially protected by the provisions of the granting sct under consideration. The secretary then answered at great length some of the points made by the railroad company in its answer, which re quires the government to select other granted lands as indemnity and shows that the letter of the law has been strictly complied with {; and after quoting at length the original contract between the government and the railroad, he says: Criticism upon alleged shortcomings of the government in respect 10 thisgrant come wi,h an Ill grace from shis com pany. The people whom the govern ment represent had the same rights under the grant as the company. In full consideration of the whole subject, ! concluded the withdra~al of land for indemnity purpose, permissible under the lav, vas solely by virtue of execu- live authority; tha, such violation would | not be a violation of either law or equity; | and that said lands having bsen so long held for the benefit of the company, the timsshas arrived when public policy | md justice demand that its withdrawal should be revoked, and the same regard De had for those seeking and needing homes and public domain, as has been shown the railroad companies.

The Fisheries Question TO be Settled
AmianhIY

There is every reason to believe that
the negotiations for the adjustment of
the fishery troubles will be successful.
/ had a talk yesterday with a promi-
nent official connected with the Safe
Department. Said he: "There are
some things, many things, in fact, that
can not be talked about in detail in
this sort OF a matter, but it is proper to
say that the matter is going on salts
factolijy."
"You think the prospects of
q speedy adjustment are good, do
your" e
"Yee, think them excellent. The
spirit OF mutual concession and desire
for friendly adjustment Of the ques-
ton, coupled with the progress made
thus far, assures me that the matter is
likely to be satisfactorily arranged"
It is not improbable that the State
Department is being delayed and more
or less hsmpered by the interest taken
in this country in the Irish agitation.
The British Government has felt all
along that the active interest taken In
the subject by many citizens of the
United States amounts almost
to a semi.interferenee with her
enforcement of her own laws,
in her own dominion, and
upon her own people. This feeling is
much strengthened by the recent
events in that line, and it is not i'm.
probable that it may have the effect
Of delaying the negotiations to a GER
tain extent. Yet, on the whole, the
situation is promising, and there ia
good reason for believing that the
fishery trouble will be adjusted long
before the next meeting of Congress
and without "calling out the troops
